I have not had my tt yet but I have learn a lot in the last 2 months from reading the ladies on this site. I think I am addicted to this site. Here is a lil' abt me. I am 34 yrs old. I have 2 sons, 17 and 13 yrs old. I also have a 19 months old grandson. I cannot wait until my surgery. I am a day care provider. I am praying that the kids be good for my help. The good thing is I work from home and I still be around.

Thanks to the ladies that already had their tt When I go to my consulting appt on July 18th I know I am gonna have more stuff to buy. I rented a reclining chair from rent a center for abt a month. I have a high king bed and have to jump up on it now.

To furture tummy tuckers when you pick a Dr. to do Ur tt see what type of payment they take. At my Dr. Once you pay Ur deposit you cannot get a refund so I told the lady I had a medical loan. She took my deposit and when the company called she said they don't deal with that company. It is a good thing I have the cash.

Still no pain. Thank you God!!! Just had my 1st bm it was not that bad. I took some xtra strength tylenol earlier and felt fine. I did not tell my family because I have a aunt that has something to say abt everything and when I told her I was thinking abt getting a tt boy did she have something to say. I did change my mind abt getting a tt because I didn't want to spend the money then it was the pain. But I read a couple of people stories saying they did not have any pain help make my mind up. So far I am glad I did. I have seen my stomach yet. Hopefully monday at the doctor appointment.

- 14 Aug 2012
Post op day 11 day going good. Still have to bend over a little cause I am stitched up tight. I forgot to mention that my doc asked me how I wanted my cut. I told him low as possible and he asked how I wanted my sides. In put my cut in the crease of my leg. Which look good to me. I go back Thursday to get my end stitches out because the rest dissolve on their own. I'm going to try to get on my bed thursday night.

- 23 Jan 2013
Hello, it has been a while but my scar has healed good, never was in any pain and the only thing went wrong was my bb closed on the inside and never closed on the outside. I had a little hole this whole time on my bb. I got it fixed today the only thing I had to pay for was for the supplies which was $75.00. I will post some pics of my bb now in a few days when I can take bandage off. I meant to post some of the before but time went by fast.
